I think it's on the younger end of average, but nothing I'd be really weirded out by. (And it's easy for Best Friends - a sanctuary I also love and support - to have a higher adoption rate since they have all kinds of dogs; VRC is focused on a breed many dog owners won't consider orwould but can't have because of their landlord, HOA, insurer, etc.). Mr Brown wrote on his Facebook page Wednesday that he wants the pit bull's previous owners held responsible for his stepdaughters death. Bridget, Iam so sorry to hear about his passing, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. So sorry to hear about his passing, he will be missed. You are in my prayers - Barbara Bossetta.

The fact that he never got a home., Then I also put my Debbie Downer hat on and was thinking, did staying up all night in an unknown place, with random people, eating a bunch of weird food make him feel stressed and more sick? ), Lopez' non-reaction to Tamy was kind of funny to me, because we usually see it on the show with puppies, while most of the older dogs do come running up to someone (whether it be one of the prospective adopters or someone from VRC) for cuddles rather than exploring. Like the younger ones are still naturally inclined towards the new smells while the older ones understand what's at stake. Lopez had been turned down several times for not "selling himself," so I like that she wasn't any less smitten with him because it took him a while to wander over to her.. He was one of the good guys. He looked so depressed. :( . I cheered when Earl got the bolt cutters and snapped the chain off. To make a long story short, he cleaned up nicely and was in decent health and put up for adoption. He was an avid fisherman who loved all water sports, a generous friend with a kind heart, and he showed great compassion to everyone he met.

The Cheech & Chong story always reduces me to tears, but they turned to tears of joy when I saw Cheech's latest happy update. Al dogs deserve such a good life. That cocker spaniel's face looks exactly like my cocker spaniel. She has the exact personality I expected and the second is a much bigger baby snuggle face than I expected. But I firmly believe it was worthit ! He seemed to enjoythe food and the attention given to him. Watching people chase after dogs is my least favorite part of the show, so having a good portion of this episode devoted to searching and chasing and fencing and making interminable kissy noises was disappointing. We were college roomates both in Caffery and off campus, almost our whole USL experience. My heart goes out to you and your family at this time. But I will never stop. My prayers and thoughts are with you. And I love Uncle Jethro. I hope hes able to work his magic. I know that he will be missed deeply.With sympathy Sherry Blanchard & family. Please know that you, Stuart and Michael are in my prayers. So many people put her and her family down because of their life style.

What a great job this group does. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. If my dog wasn't here snoring like a chain saw, I would have sworn it was him. The hound pups were so cute.

The adopter was young, living with her parents and studying to be a vet tech, and at the home visit we learned she'd spent most of her savings to fence in a big section of the family's yard to create outdoor space for the dog (they already had cats - all Bengals). I noticed in the update photos there were no pictures of the dog with the cats, when they usually love to show (and I love to see) inter-species bonding, so I wonder how that's going.
